Abstract
The hypothenar hammer syndrome is a distinct entity of digital ischemia caused by the repetitive compression of the distal ulnar artery against the hook of the hamate. Definite diagnosis should most likely rely on selective arteriography. Primary resection with anastomosis and cervicodorsal sympathectomy have both been proposed as treatment. Early recognition of the syndrome is important.Keywords
